I'm starting to think one of Steichen or Kafka is going to end up being the next Panthers HC. If you wanted Reich, Wilks, or Caldwell, you could've made that move by now. I think Payton is using Tepper purely for leverage purposes at this point, and even if he did want to come to Carolina, it sounds like the Saints are going to make it cost prohibitive to do so. Feels like Payton doesn't mind ending up in Denver or waiting another year when there's more openings.

AFC team with a QB in place so the pick doesn’t hurt as bad. Owner with plenty of money. They check some boxes definitely…

The QB looked horrible last season, is not a fit for Payton's system, and they play in a division with Mahomes and Herbert.  If I'm looking for a quick turnaround in building a winner, that ain't it.

Would be a home run for me, either one. By far My top two right now. Wasn’t sold on Kafka earlier this week, but with news about more than a mid first next year being the price for Payton, I want little to do with that. Unless it comes down to him or Wilks.

I'd rather have Wilks and our draft picks, and I don't want Wilks much, but there will be more opportunities for us than that anyway.

    • Whatever. I am so ready to not see any more mock drafts until there is a draft worth talking about in the 1st. Even the top 2 guys in this draft are underwhelming in comparison.
    • I'm having a hell of a time trying to make projections for Carolina due to the giant question mark that is Jacksonville. Looking over their roster, they're a prime candidate to trade back. Most of the top prospects are going to be at positions they've already made investments in and are getting returns on: RB (Jeanty) - Travis Etienne (2021 1st), Tank Bigsby (2023 3rd) OT (Membou) - Walker Little (2021 2nd), Anton Harrison (2023 1st) TE (Warren) - Brenton Strange (2023 2nd) DT (Graham) - Davon Hamilton (2020 3rd), Maason Smith (2024 2nd), Jordan Jefferson (2024 4th), Arik Armstead LB (Walker) - Foyesade Oluokun, Devin Lloyd (2022 1st), Chad Muma (2022 3rd), Ventrell Miller (2023 4th) EDGE (Walker) - Travon Walker (2022 1st), Josh Hines-Allen (2019 1st) Looking at the investments already made, if the Jags were too go with one of those positions I could see them leaning towards a rotational edge rusher or an upgrade at tight end for TLaw. Their most pressing need (imo) is at CB. I could also see them looking to go WR as well, but all scenarios point to the optimal outcome for the Jags to be move back, acquire more draft capital, and take the best prospect rather than the most needed position. This spirals a bit when I start to try and figure out what Carolina will do. If Warren or Graham falls to them they will have to determine whether or not they're better off passing on them and getting extra depth from this class. Trying to read the tea leaves, I think that they've made peace with that and are willing to move back and look to take either the best SLB or WLB available (Mykel Williams or Donovan Ezeiruaku, imo).
